This week on Facts vs Feelings, Liz Loza closes out Season 1 with some reflection, projection, and a little chaos. She’s joined by Michelle Magdziuk, NFL Network researcher and fantasy analyst, to unpack the biggest lessons from this season and to discuss draft strategies heading into 2026. Then, Liz links up with Producer David Presley to hand out some very totally objective fantasy awards…emotionally selected, statistically defended, and absolutely up for debate.

And to everyone who listeend, followed along, argued with us, and rode through the highs, lows, and chaos of this season: Thank you. This one was for you. 💛
